In 1969, Dr. McCann was awarded a Master's Degree from Columbia University, New York, USA and in July, 1979 was awarded a Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Leicester, Leicester, U.K. Many graduates of the Faculty of Education at Memorial will remember Dr. McCann's contribution to their education through her classroom lectures, tutorials in the Master's of Education program and significant role in the development and success of the Harlow campus in the UK.
